Along with hundreds of attractions in Baltimore, Maryland, attendees also will find the city to be a haven for history buffs. Visitors can trace the nation’s journey from its fight for independence through the War of 1812 at Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine, where soldiers were stationed to defend Baltimore from British attack.


With live military reenactments and musket and artillery demonstrations, visiting groups will feel transported back in time. The Star-Spangled Banner Flag House, which was built in 1793, was Mary Pickersgill’s home and business location. She sewed the flag that flew over Fort McHenry and served as inspiration for Francis Scott Key when he penned what would become the national anthem.


Historic Ships in Baltimore, such as the USS Constellation, are docked at the world-famous Inner Harbor. Baltimore’s four military ships and the Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse offer exhibits and tours that portray what life was like on the ships during war.


The B&O Railroad Museum is a national landmark that allows guests to explore the premier railroad collection in the country. The National Great Blacks in Wax Museum showcases more than 150 life-size wax figures and is the only museum of its kind dedicated to the African American experience.


A tour of the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture highlights the history and ac- complishments of the state’s African American community.
